Check whether bash is installed
Code:

Alternative shells
Code:
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/ksh

Bash is not installed on HP-UX by default. Also bash is not officially supported, you will not get help from HP Support if problems with it arise. f you do install bash, make absolutely sure that you do not change the default shell for root. The root shell must be /sbin/sh. If it is anything else you could make your system unbootable.

If you really want to go ahead and install bash, you can find a binary here: Porting And Archive Centre For HP-UX

What version of HP-UX do you have?
No version of HP-UX comes with "bash". Depending on your version there are ways to get the source and compile it.
In every release since HP-UX 11.00 /sbin/sh hs been the Posix Shell (not the Bourne Shell). See "man sh" for the list of standard shells.
